To any and all :
I'm experiencing somewhat of a dilema. My Jeep's voltage gage is constantly reading 15 volts. This does vary a little when I engage items (headlight's, rear defrost.. etc.) So I know the voltage regulator is working. I've traced as many wires as I can possibly get to, without fnding a short anytwhere. I took the Alternator to the mechanic's to test, and they say everything is fine. Do Jeep's constantly run a little high. I think the only issue would be the life of my battery if my alternator is constantly kicking out that many volts..
Also, I'm getting a burnt rubber smell that comes and goes. I can see no discoloring of anything or problems with the tires. Do the windings of the alternator burning make ths smell?? I did just replace the Cat. Converter.. could this be it??
Thanks for the help..
Mike
